ROUND ROBIN REPORTS 

Mitzi Budde, Virginia Theological Seminary – The VTS communi-
ty are enjoying the new library. Instruction at VTS remains entirely 
residential.

Dean President. The Academic Dean retires in December. The Li-
brary has been adding shelving to accommodate donations like the 
North American Lutheran Seminary collection. Susanah is halfway 
through coursework for a ThD in Biblical Theology. She reported, 
“It has at times been difficult to juggle work, school, and my family, 
but I am really enjoying the studying!”

Patrick Milas, Sage Library at New Brunswick Theological Semi-
nary – The Seminary has recently undergone two self-study visits: 
ATS and Middle States. In 2021, NBTS welcomed a new Access Ser-
vices & Reference Librarian, Deanna Roberts, and a new Technical 
Services Librarian & Archivist, Christina Geuther. Sage Library re-
opened to the public on June 1, 2022. Patrick was delighted to share 
about the birth of his second daughter, Esme, on New Year’s Day.

reopened. Jude Morrissey is pursuing an MDiv from Berkeley Di-
vinity School at Yale in preparation to serve as library chaplain. 

Jim Pakala, Covenant Seminary (retired) – Jim joins the group 
online, having led the Presbyterian/Reformed Group for years.

dral Church in Vancouver.
